Presented by Ted Hunter, Barry Pilger, and Carolyn Burgess Tonight’s Agenda:  Introductions (All)  Lessons Learned (Ted):  Picking the RIGHT SYSTEM FOR YOU!  Vulnerabilities Assessment  Designing the system  Video: Just one part of an Overall Security Strategy  Installation Considerations (“DIY”, Contractor, Turn Key)  Solutions/Technology Overview (Barry)  Latest and Greatest:  Positioning for the Future  Basic Costs  Equipment  Installation (Barry, Carolyn: Turn Key; e.g. Xfinity, ATT)  Short Break  DIY-er’s Workshop: Cameras, cabling, terminations, etc But first, this---Why we are all here tonight…. Three videos reviewed by police. At least one arrest. The other two incidents were investigated. Lessons Learned…  From 20+ years designing, commissioning, and sustaining engineering visual communication systems has come my following system design dictums:  Nothing replaces:  Investing in a comprehensive/site specific needs assessment  REMEMBER: Let YOUR DESIRED OUTCOME drive the technology decisions; never vice versa  Effective/Thoughtful design (put it on paper! Doesn’t have to be fancy) Lessons Learned-continued…  Clean installation with an eye to the future THIS VERSUS THIS Lessons Learned-continued…  Lastly: Sustainability-- Minimize long term of cost of ownership  Maximize upgradability THIS THIS (CAT 5/6 with plug-in CCTV converters/baluns) VERSUS (Terminated CCTV Cable) How does that relate to “Picking the Right System for YOU!”…  Vulnerability Assessment • Look at your home from a burglar’s POV ---e.g. my house: “Picking the Right System for YOU!” --continued…  Addressing the vulnerabilities of YOUR house & neighborhood with an effective designed---e.g. my house: Camera at the hidden side door Almost hidden camera at top of the stairs Camera covering egress stairs NOTE: All Cameras have “night vision” technology “Picking the Right System for YOU!” --continued…  Designing the system: Think about disguising your cameras when appropriate--Area of vulnerability: New mailbox location Camera disguised as an oriental garden lantern “Picking the Right System for YOU!” --continued…  Designing the system: Address your vulnerabilities with more than just video Have and USE your alarm WITH Glass break sensors Door Kick Bar Motion Detected Security Lights Kick Proof Door Jambs • Silver MDX down at the Gateway Exhibit Center on Tunnel: Looking out for the “Lookouts” Lesson Learned---continued… Build a Sense of Community… “I am embarrassed to say I have met more of my neighbors as a result of security issues than any other issue facing my community! BUT… Glad I did!!!” Next:  Installation  Technology Presented by Barry Pilger oWhat images do you want to capture oSelecting the right technology/application oCamera location oDummy cameras oHardware/software/access oInside cameras/outside cameras/street cameras oSurveillance as a service oTwo types of systems oAnalog (including new HD) oDigital/IP (internet) based oHard wired (every camera needs a home run) oSome wireless options with IP systems oResolution oLicense plate reading (LPR) • Swann is the preferred vendor. We have tried Lorex, Night Owl, Q-See, and a cheapo system available on Ebay. Swann has great support, has an advanced graphical user interface. Documentation written by native English speaker. • Resolution limited to 700 TVL (.48 megapixel) • Must be 960h (not D1 resolution), more on resolution later • Uses BNC coaxial cable • Every camera must be hard wired to the recording device (DVR) • Swann has a line of IP systems, roughly 4 x the cost of analog, but offer 1080p resolution (4x that of 960h) • Usually hard wired (Cat5 or 6 cable) , but one can avoid running internet cables to every camera by using powerline adapters or wifi extenders, depending on quality of signal • The least expensive alternative is using a Windows computer, on 24/7 and Sighthound software and Aote cameras purchased on Ebay (more later) • Carolyn Burgess has done some homework on systems by cable companies and other installation contractors. • Hardware easily placed there • Can probably get an internet connection to the garage • If not hard wired, consider using powerline adapter or wifi extender • Cameras wires are easy to run along garage walls • Cams placed above garage doors can cover much of the real estate that a perp might use to access your property ? ? Decoy or deterrent. They can be either. • On Amazon.com (Amazon Prime) $7.04 (with blinking light $7.50) Recommended DIY steps: 1. Determine your objectives and needs 2. Buy your system 3. Do a table top assembly, familiarize yourself 4. Hire an installer to mount the cams and run the cables 5. My long time electrician installed two cams above a garage for $300 and installed two cams in two separate parts of a house for $400 for my neighbors • Carolyn has done some homework too on installers. Be sure they are licensed contractors. Very important. • Next up, some technical details • Barry will talk about a relatively simple IP system using Sighthound.com software ($60 for two cameras, $250 for unlimited cameras. • Ted will talk about installing analog systems and how to future proof them Requirements: Mac or Windows computer running 24/7 Any IP camera Software: Sighthound.com A little bit of technical know how. Pretty much any IT or internet/website professional or computer builder/hobbyist will be able to do this. • Are all available at: http://www.barrypilger.com/nhca
